Meet the Clinical Bioinformaticians

Meet the Clinical Bioinformaticians is the first in a new film series highlighting key professions in genomic medicine. The film features The University of Manchester’s Professor Andy Brass who is Programme Co-Director for the STP Clinical Bioinformatics and Programme Director for HSST Clinical Bioinformatics. Also featured are Dr Sirisha Hesketh, a HSST trainee at Oxford Medical Genetics Laboratories and, Eileen Gallagher who recently graduated from the STP in Clinical Bioinformatics (Genomics). This film showcases what the work of a clinical bioinformatician involves, the kind of traits and skills required, and some of the challenges facing both those working in the profession and the NHS more broadly.
